Background & Aims: rs738409 variant is a risk factor for onset and progression of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). We aimed to assess its global prevalence, clinical and histological characteristics, and long-term outcomes in patients with MASLD.
Methods: PubMed and Embase databases were searched until December 30, 2023, for observational studies on genotyped adults with MASLD.

Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a viral infection, and its acquisition and persistence are significantly influenced by the vaginal microbiota. Understanding and comparing the vaginal microbiome of HPV infected women in Andaman and Nicobar Islands is crucial.
Methods: The study involved collecting vaginal swabs and extracting DNA using the QIAamp DNA Minikit.

Background: Observational studies have underscored a robust association between frailty and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), yet the causality remains equivocal.
Methods: This study employed bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. Univariable MR investigated the causal relationship between frailty and COPD.

Environmental variation has long been considered a key driver of evolutionary change, predicted to shape different strategies, such as genetic specialization, plasticity, or bet-hedging to maintain fitness. However, little evidence is available with regards to how the periodicity of stressors may impact fitness across generations. To address this gap, I conducted a reciprocal split-brood experiment using the freshwater crustacean, Daphnia magna, and an ecologically relevant environmental stressor, ultraviolet radiation (UVR).

Calligonum polygonoides, an endangered species of desert due to poor regeneration and overexploitation, which requires immediate conservation attention. Genetic diversity analysis is crucial for effective conservation and management initiatives, for elite genotypes. Therefore, in the present study, SCoT (start codon target) and ISSR (inter simple sequence repeat) markers were used to investigate the genetic variability in 120 individuals of Calligonum polygonoides.
